The Red Knight was the only Hell's Horses WarShip in the Clan Homeworlds to survive the Absorption of the Hell's Horses homeworld forces by Clan Star Adder, and their subsequent seperation to form the new Clan Stone Lion. By 3085 the Red Knight was suffering from severe cracks in its K-F Drive, making it impossible for the Red Knight to conduct operations outside the Tokasha system until the jump core was subject to a thorough overhaul.[3]
